Atomic Energy Commission Division of Reactor Development Reactor Information Meeting. Part VI, Processing; October 7, 8, 9, 1953

Description: On October 7, 8, and 9, 1953, the Atomic Energy Commission Division of Reactor Development held a reactor information meeting at the Argonne National Laboratory. The objective of the meeting was exchange of information among people actively concerned with the design of reactors for power to the end that the power reactor program would move more speedily and more economically to another milestone of success. In this volume all the papers presented at the meeting are listed. Copies are given of t… more

Attack on Uranium by Lithium at 600 C

Description: The tests described in this report were static tests devised to afford a basis for a quick evaluation of the resistance of uranium to attack by lithium. The work was done at the same time as the tests of beryllium, thorium, and various engineering metals in lithium (described in ANL-4990); but the results with uranium are given in the present classified report so that the results of the other tests can be published as an unclassified document. The procedure for carrying out the tests is describ… more

A Capsule Design for Experimental High-Flux Irradiations Of Fuel Materials

Description: New reactors presently in design or construction stages, as well as revised operating procedures for existing reactors, have shown an increasing emphasis on extending the exposure time of the reactor fuel elements. However, operating experience at Hanford, as at other installations, has demonstrated that as the amount of burn-up in uranium metal is increased an increase is also noted in operational difficulties resulting from the dimensional behavior of the fuel. During reactor irradiation uran… more

Condensation of Metal Vapors: Mercury and the Kinetic Theory of Condensation

Description: Report issued by the Argonne National Laboratory discussing condensation theories of metal vapors. As stated in the introduction, "the objectives of this research then are critical analysis of condensation theories and data for metal vapors and experimental evaluation of the resistance to condensation for a representative metal such as mercury" (p. 18). This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

The Manufacture of Enriched ZPR-III Fuel Plates

Description: This report is essentially a procedural account of the fabrication of certain enriched ZPR-III fuel plates for use in the ANL fast critical experiments at Arco, Idaho. A total of 208.92 kilograms of fully enrich, unalloyed uranium was processed. Of this amount 202.74 kilograms was received in the form of Oak Ridge type reduction buttons and 6.18 kilograms as pressed-powder plates. The completed fabrication consisted of 720 rectangular fuel plates having the nominal dimensions 3in. x 2in. x 1/8i… more

Preliminary Report on Corrosion of Low-Uranium, Zirconium-Base Alloys

Description: Tests were made to determine the effects of heat treatment and composition on the corrosion resistance of low-uranium, zirconium-base alloys to water at 600F. A total of 57 compositions were tested. The zirconium alloys contained up to 9% natural uranium plus small amounts of tin, antimony, lead, bismuth, yttrium, beryllium, germanium, niobium, nickel, and aluminum in various combinations. Data are presented in both tabular and graphical form. The effect of heat treatment on corrosion resistanc… more
